Popis: Neurosurgical patients with genetic syndromes often receive care from multidisciplinary teams. Successful models range from multiple providers in one clinic space seeing a patient together to specialists located at different institutions working together. Collaboration and bidirectional communication are key. Multidisciplinary care improves outcomes and patient satisfaction. Choosing the goal of the clinic, using ancillary staff, and obtaining institutional buy-in are important initial first steps to establishing a multidisciplinary team clinic. Multidisciplinary teams can leverage technology to expand care via telehealth in multidisciplinary clinics and more vitally communication between providers on the team.
